A new drawing tablet...
6 years ago
Heyo,
As some of you may know, I use a digital device for most all of my drawing.
That is the now potentially venerable (Had it for probably... 6 years or so) Wacom Cintiq 12WX which I'm currently thinking about replacing. Though just what to replace it with is the question...
I've been doing some digging and I had it in my head that I wanted to use a drawing tablet, so I can hold and rotate it in my hands without worrying about wearing out a cord.
My first impression was that I wanted to pick up another Wacom, primarily the ModbileStudio Pro 13 with the i7(6-gen), 8GB of ram, and a 256GB SSD.
A small screen does not bother me, because I like to work in small boxes.
But, some of the problems listed in amazon complaints have me a little worried. The concept of a DOA device with a near if not above 2K price tag seems...bad.
Complaints range from dead pixels, fuzzy screens, crashing, and unacceptably slow performance. While the worst detail screen flickering and then near permanent black screens.
A more in depth review says that it's dim, it's a little slow, but is good for being made of dated bits if you don't mind an atrocious battery life and 40DB fan.
So I started to look at other things on both ends of the price spectrum.
Things like the Microsoft Surface Book 2 or the Samsung Galaxy Tab A.
Personally I have no clue what I should do, and was wondering if anyone here has had a bit of experience with devices of this type and would be willing to lend their opinion on the overall dilemma.
